Huh? It wasn't the "media" that promulgated the BEIR report and ran the
fear-mongering con on the public, the "media" only reported what was said. 

In fact, some media was much more responsibile in reporting that a conflict
exists. The "scientists" talked religion. They manufactured the ammunition
that a single alpha can cause a cancer, literally!? (the radium dial painters
and Otto Raabe's studies, the human and dog, mice, rats contrary data, etc
etc, notwithstanding funded by the EPA to run the con on the public.

Springer is more honest. He doesn't wrap himself in the flag and take $100
Billions in public funds for no public benefits.
